The thought of falling and getting bruised hurts not only our passion for the unknown, but also creates a fictitious bruise on our hopes and dreams for the future self. The same is true for relationships. We may have fallen in love at one point in time of our lives. We may consequently been bruised by infidelity, lies, neglect, external influences, health conditions or some other relationship killer that has dampened our air on "Love At Last" thoughts.

Well, suck it up and keep HOPE ALIVE! Both men and women suffer the same hurts and pains. We just deal with them differently. And always remember, hurt people only hurt people because hurt people have yet to heal internal bruises. But once you find the ONE, you may have the following verses (or something like them) running circles in your heart arcade!

The Child in HimI loved the child in himso innocent and sweetThe mischief in his eyesthe blush upon his cheekThe tender way he spokethat showed me that he caredThe touch of his warm handthat gently touched my hairThe smiles that we sharedthat filled my life with gleeFor when I was with himI found the child in me

- Jean Gabor-

These I Can PromiseI cannot promise you a life of sunshine;I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;I cannot promise you an easy pathwayThat leads away from change or growing old.

But I can promise all my heart's devotion;A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;A love that's ever true and ever growing;A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.

These I can promise you
